My favorite vinyl record growing up was "Far West" by the Wichita Orchestra. However, the names of the tunes are not always accurate and some are a mashup of two different songs. I posted the album on youtube and I hope I can get some help here. Shazam and SoundHound weren't any help and couldn't even identify "Yankee Doodle" and "Oh Susanna". Too bad the album has never been digitally remastered and made available on CD. Links are below.

1) The first one is a mashup of "Oh Susanna" and an unknown song. The unknown part starts at 1:05



2) The second one is a mashup of "Yankee Doodle" and some type of sea shanty. I remember hearing it in cartoons from the 40s and 50s that took place on the sea and maybe some old Donald Duck cartoons. The unknown part starts at 0:46. MYSTERY SOLVED thanks to rostani. it's "Turkey in the Straw". I'm stupid for not recognizing it right away since I have three different versions in my MP3 collection



3) The third one is called "Charge des Nordistes", which would make it an American Civil War song, but one I've never heard anywhere else before. It seems to be a mashup of two different songs and I'd really like to know what the original name of the song is. MYSTERY SOLVED thanks to Trollheart. It's "The Girl I left Behind Me"



4) The fourth one is a mashup of "Pecos Bill" and an unknown song. The unknown part starts at 0:59.



5) The fifth one is a mashup of "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and two unknown songs. The first unknown part starts at 0:38 and the second one at 0:54.



6) The sixth one is a mashup of "Little Brown Jug" and an unknown song.



7) The seventh one is a mashup of "Ring the Banjo" and an unknown song. The unknown part starts at 1:00



Wonder if there are musical detectives here who can help me. Thanks in advance

Right. I'm working on these for you. It ain't easy.

1. Sounds like they just threw in some riffs there; there's only a few notes so I doubt it's another song.

2. I think that's called "The Sailor's Hornpipe". You will hear it in cartoons, especially Popeye ones, and he usually dances or fights to it, so I think that's what it is.

3. One of the songs is "Campton Races". Other one I don't know.

I'll be back with more when I have it.

Forgot to post the seventh video. Done.

I thought of the "Sailor's Hornpipe" too, but to my ears it sounds completely different. I'll post the "Sailor's Hornpipe" down below.

"The Girl I left Behind Me" is spot on. Thank you for that, although I'm a bit disappointed that the original is so slow and, quite frankly, boring.

"Camptown Races" is a completely different song and is on the record too (a mashup with "Skip to My Lou" and I'll post it too if you want to compare.

Trollheart

No it's not "Camptown Races", I know that one. Shazam found it on an album called 25 Classiques Instrumental by Les Joyeux Pasans, and it's called "Campton Races". I can't find a youtube, but it is the right tune.

Interesting. Never heard of that one. I'll look and try to find out more.

Trollheart

The album is apparently on itunes/Apple store if you want to get it.

Okay well good luck with it, but I've other things to be getting on with. I think I've probably helped you all I can anyway.
